the devil's ballet
i dance to the devil's music
he choreographs the steps
& i perform his macabre ballet
always on point
pirouette in flamed circles
as it burns flesh deep
with gaunt, pale skin
crescent moons under my eyes
up late to please the Sadistic beast
who has turned me fiend
a broken ballerina
i grand plie on his face
as he eats out my soul
tongue fucks me
there is no way to resist
this is his game
his theater of the depraved
all dancing their parts
for the Dark Master
whose grand finale
ends in our demise
i will find a way
out of this dark place
this lady of the night
will retrieve the shattered pieces
let my brokenness shine
a beacon to the cast off
bereft & filled with pain
who have danced
on this macabre stage
with a final curtain call
i take a bow
& exit this stage
for the last time
this is my finale
i take back my life
with the knowledge
when i dance
no strings will be attached

this coda reads like a grand pas classique,beautiful one... except with you, it actually moves the balllet forward.
at uct we were always told that the first & last thing we will ever perfect as dancers is the plié & i love that you have brought the complexity & simplicity of such a graceful movement herein juxtaposed with these macabre images.
you make me ache for my days dancing with this haunting poem.
love you lady

like the dance of the Black Swan, Crim,
but a dance more beautiful when the strings are cut...

....and as you curtsey bow to an audience that is chanting, "we want more",....you realize you are free. No more strings to be pulled, no more shackles holding you back and the devil had to exit his ass stage left.
Rebirth through movement.... love it!😘

Re. the devil's ballet
Ah Brenda, you won't "i take a bow
& exist (exit) this stage

You will be back, I firmly believe in reincarnation. See you then.

My Beautiful Brenda....my love, you will continue to dance for us all...choreographing your own dance steps...just what you have been fighting for...so very proud of you and your continued strength...you lift me up when I am so buried in darkness...honored to have you beside me, you have no idea the impact you have on us all.
I love you madly, deeply my love.
With all my love - Taryn xoxo

Your dance is exquisitely yours and yours alone. It's such an honor to be allowed to watch (walk with) you through this journey. That final stanza had me on the edge of my seat audibly uttering "Yes!" Gorgeous, as always, my beautiful Angel. So much love...
